How do I go back to stock sense?
After rooting my device, I downloaded a few roms and none of them worked except Skydragon.
I'm getting kinda tired of the stock lollipop and want to go back to sense but I cant. The other roms get me stuck on bootloader.
I tried downloading the RUU 0p6bimg.zip to revert back to stock but I wasnt able to transfer it to my SD card. I then downloaded it directly to my sdcard and went into hboot.
hboot says the file is too big and wont let me do anything.
I'm S-ON
Unlocked
version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000
version-main: 3.11.1700.5
product: m8_ul_ca
modelid:0P6B12000
cidnum: CWS__001
also if it matters, I was on TWRP 2.7.0.2 but now im on CWM 6.0.4.8
help pls.
Its exactly the same as it was on your HOX. Get a matching nand backup to restore. You know the basics, how to do it and such.....been coverering that before

Can you post your entire fastboot getvar all output (minus the IMEI and S/N) please? Looks like you are running the GPe ROM

Heres all I have tried so far:
1) flashing different firmwares but they keep failing. (yes, I ran it twice, sometimes more) Im not sure whether getting the right firmware will help, I saw somewhere it does. Am I using the wrong ones?
2) I tried RUUs as well, but it fails at 1/7. The last one I checked said it would update to 4.16.1540.8, then said please get the right RUU. :S
I'm not sure which that is.
3) several different recovery files as well, including stock ones and running Sense-based roms and supersu after. The phone reboots back into recovery mode.
1. It will fail if you don't use the one originally for your devices CID
2. There aren't any RUUs for the M8_UL_CA
3. You need to find the one that matches your CID

It looks like your device is originally AT&T
1. If you want to try to flash firmware only, you need to relock bootloader
download the signed firmware here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-4-4-4-firmware-signed-encrypted-t3031703
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip ATT444firmware.zip .....( again for the 2nd time)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
see whether you can successfully flash this firmware. If yes, you can try option 2.
2. RUU - still you need to relock bootloader and run this RUU (run as Administrator)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58949364&postcount=36
3. You need to revert your partition to Sense partition then only you can restore/flash Sense based ROMs/backup
Means you need that option 1 or option 2
They're S-ON, so it's not a full conversion

Any device with CID/MID as OP has, can run a signed GPE RUU with S-On
I don't know whether OP can revert to Sense from GPE when the signed firmware has same CID/MID ... and no harm to try as OP has a S-On device. Maybe can because same hboot version 3.19.0000 and maybe cannot because of software version (cannot downgrade from lollipop to 4.4.4)
okay so basically i need to relock my bootloader, flash a different firmware and then I can install a Sense Rom, correct?
Am I understanding this correctly? Relock bootloader, flash firmware, unlock bootloader again, install rom.
Will the firmware you linked above (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/general/att-4-4-4-firmware-signed-encrypted-t3031703) be able to install a ROM like the latest Viper or the latest Android Revolution? Im only assuming it would be like this:
Also, can someone tell me what I needed to write to relock the bootloader please?
Before we talk about flashing other ROM, you need to try whether you can successfully flash the signed firmware or not. If successful, this will take you to Sense 4.4.4 not lollipop. If fails, then you need a lollipop firmware for your device version. Don't you remember anything about your original software before GPE ... or your device is original GPE ? Which is which now ? If it is original GPE, then nothing you can do to convert to Sense without S-Off (I assume original is not GPE because you first question is "How do I go back to stock sense?")
You need the one that said "Stock signed/encrypted (includes stock boot and recovery)"
My device was originally Sense. I installed Skydragon and Android Revolution back then but wasn't getting wifi. I updated my firmware, but only Skydragon seemed to be working after I did so. I havent been able to go to any Sense ROMs since.
I guess so ... you wrongly flashed a signed GPE firmware. That is why you can only install a GPE ROM.
So.. can't you remember at all what device that you have ?
Try that option 1 and see how it goes.

This means your device is AT&T .. now your partition is back to Sense partition.
But this is only a 4.4.4 firmware because there is no lollipop 5.0.1 for AT&T yet for now.
If you want to revert everything to stock Sense, do option 2. Remember your first question is "How do I go back to stock sense?" and your thread title "Returning to stock sense" .... I help you to achieve this. More than this, I'm not so sure as I'm not familiar with AT&T device.
If you want to try any lollipop base custom ROM, you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
then you can install that custom ROM .. and see any problem with wifi or not. I cannot help on custom ROM matter as I don't use one.
I suggest you do option 2, re-unlock, flash TWRP and make a backup of your stock ROM before you try that custom lollipop ROM..

Ok so, let me understand. Option 2 means I need to relock and run the RUU as administrator. After that I can run any Sense ROM even if its the new Lolipop sense roms? Or can only 4.4.4 roms work?
If its the ladder, can I simply relock and install a 4.4.4 custom sense ROM? Will that work?
If you want to run custom ROM, then no need option 2.
As I said earlier ...you need to re-unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP - use 2.8.3.0 (not sure whether 2.8.4.0 & 2.8.5.0 can work on 4.4.4 or not), most important never ever use your old TWRP 2.7.0.2
You can try lollipop. If it is not running perfect for your device then any Sense custom base 4.4.4 ROM should work. (e.g.- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748588)
the lollipop roms worked! thank you!!

A friend of mine messed up his phone when trying to root it. He couldn't explain to me what he did exactly but the phone wouldn t boot anymore. He then tried to flash a rom he got from the htc one m8 android development section. Then phone booted into the os but he had all sorts of problems no signal/camera didn t work etc. I tried to help him get his phone back to stock i flashed the stock recovery.img and boot.img from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2694994 then tried to flash the stock rom also from that link, but it didn t work out. With these thing said i later found out that the carrier number was T-MOB009(not a htc cid as he told me) so i don't think what i did was wise.
How can i get his phone back to the stock rom?
i can enter bootloader and recovery(which is stock as i flashed it from that link), i will post more about the phone when i will have it.

Grab the nandroid backup for T-MOB009 from the Collection thread
Flash custom recovery(TWRP seeing as the backup was made with TWRP).
Boot into recovery and restore the back up.
ROM he downloaded and installed was probably one of the 3.x ROMs and the issues(Radio - wifi, bluetooth, data etc) all came about as a result of outdated firmware...He probably never bothered to read that he should have the latest firmware before taking the latest ROM.
Ty for your answer. I will try this as soon as i get a hold of the phone. I will get back with feedback.

Edit your post and remove the serial no and IMEI you don't share those.
your version number is missing but I'm guessing it would be 3.x considering you did the update.
by reverting to 4.4.2 do you mean just restoring a nandroid ? and it fixes the wifi ?
Try manually flashing the kernel after the update
or flash a custom kernel for 3.x if you can't find the stock one

You need latest firmware for latest custom ROMs as well. Especially as far as the radio is concerned, if you don't have latest firmware you might experience problems with everything related to the radio i.e Data connectivity, wifi, bluetooth

Don't guess. Boot into bootloader, and it will say either s-on or s-off near the top.
By variant, jball is asking what carrier version or CID.
Flash the proper firmware package for your CID, if its in the collection:

How does anyone not know if they are S-OFF/S-ON ?
Did you buy your phone second hand ?
Do you know how to boot into hboot/bootlooader mode witch will inform you if your S-OFF or S-ON
Have you tried an up to date twrp cause the one your on is very old.
At&t is furthest from receiving OTA's in my opinion

http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-htc-one-m8/development/att-4-4-3-2-22-1540-3-debloated-sense-6-t2837365
"3.28.1540 firmware only" file is what you want.
Forget this sorted it all out, now running SRom ported lollipop with sense 7 from the M9. Hboot no red text and faux locked/original/son. Super CID.
For the record, it's always a firmware/dalvic cache problem (98%)
Hi Guys so Im rooted running Android Revoluton HD ROMs on an international O2 phone S-on
I thought I would wipe the entire phone, bleach it like a PC and reinstall.
Not a problem except various elements dont work.
I installed Stock ROM (I think KitKat)
I installed ARHD 22. (Kit Kat) everything worked
I installed ARHD 34.(Jellybean Sense 6) no wifi
I installed ARDH 40.(Jellybean Sense 7) no HTC TV
I installed ARHD 41.(Jellybean Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed?
I know its probably because I wiped the misc folder but up until I did a clean wipe I could use all of these roms without a glitch.
So is it firmware?
What do I need to put back on my phone for them all to work
I am S-on at the moment and I know that isnt whats stopping these roms working.
Any suggestions?

It's firmware. You most probably have kitkat firmware and lolipop based roms will mess up your wifi and stuff. Take an ota or stay on kitkat.
Thanks will try
Do I just flash the zip file?
Im sure I probs do

If you are S-ON don't flash firmware. Just don't. You can flash rom zips, recoveries, kernels. You can write on these partitions with s-on: recovery, boot, system and data.
I've just used Sunshine to get S-off, what a joy to use!
So now I can just flash them right?
I've got my cid number matched it up with the ota and bingo?
Right?

well im come from HTC One M7, and as long as the M8 is pretty much the same, you dont need s-off to flash the same firmware which your already on, or the next one step up, after all, this is exactly what an OTA does for you.
However, now your s-off anyway, you canflash any RUU or firmware you like, just make sure cid and mid match first. :good:
EDIT: there ia also no need to lock or re-lock the bootloader to flash anything now that your S-off, leave it unlocked all the time for everything, its a common problem on the M7 forums at the moment, people who are s-off or even s-on, locking bootloaders with custom rom's or recovery's on thier phones.
Thanks, so with the ota there are two for O2 my cid is O2___001 am I right that I can take the 001 OR the 002?

in all honesty, I would of thought the CID 001 and 002 were in the same ota, have you checked the android-info.txt file within the OTA itself, its just a zip file.
possible to post your fastboot getvar all without imei and serial number please, also a link to the OTA's your downloading would be good.
Well I've just tried to flash both....I enter recovery instal zip right?
It's giving me an error.
Will tell you that info in a minute when I get on my pc

personnaly, if your just trying to get to Lollipop, I would change my CID to HTC__001 (thats 2 underscores, CID is always 8 digits)
Change MID if required.
and then flash the WWE International Lollipop full RUU, piece of cake. http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/general/htc-one-m8-european-signed-ruu-0p6bimg-t2911563
But if the original isn't flashing what hope have I got with an HTC one. It's interesting to know though that I can change it.
So what next?

Flashing an OTA manually is a different kettle of fish, its just an OTA not a full RUU, and you would still have to be full stock in order for it to succeed.
however, if you just require the firmware in order to use a custom LP rom, then just pull the firmware.zip out of the OTA and flash it.
you would then have to put a custom recovery back on your phone, copy a rom to your sdcard, and flash it from within TWRP recovery.
And im trying to flash O2 OTA

you already have the latest firmware on your phone !!!
I installed ARHD 41.( Sense7) no images in Blinkfeed? ------ pulled from your first post, this is a common problem, if you mean its face ache, there is a fix for it on playstore.
OK is tere an RUU for O2 uk?
So im extracting the firmware at the mo, then I will flash it then I will try and install ARHD 41....
Im right that the O2___002 is an upgraded version of the 001 and its what I need right?
Otherwise im just replacing like for like.

nope O2___002 is a different cid, you need to use the 001 files, however, its the same as you already have on your phone.
CID is just carrier ID, so O2___001 will be something like O2 UK and 002 might be something like O2 france, no difference in files, just different regions.

Make sure of a couple of things when flashing a custom ROM, check for problems other are having with it, by reading some of the later posts is what I always do, just a few pages, also and this is a must, read the OP's flashing instructions, so many people bypass this step, the most important step is to make sure your using the dev's recommended custom recovery for flashing.
I always full wipe before flashing anything, so in TWRP first factory reset, and then goto wipe - advanced - select everything except your internal storage and SDcard, and then always reboot back into recovery after the wipes before flashing the rom, it will nag you and say you have no OS installed, ignore it and Do Not Intall to SuperSU, the custom rom flash will do that for you.
During the rom installation, again I always select full wipe when given the option, you then know you have a clean slate to build the rom on.

Your firmware is already current, and should work with latest ARHD. Blinkfeed not showing image is a known issue reported by others.
No need to mess with RUUs or firmware zips.
I have a HTC One M8, that is running a very old version of Android Revolution (7.0, which is KitKat based). I would like to update to the newest version, but I'm getting conflicting answers on how should I do this. Some threads say I have to revert to stock, and some say I have to install the official OTA updates first, otherwise I might end up with non-working wifi, and some say I should use the RUU from the official HTC site.
Details of the phone:
S-ON
Rooted
Has TWRP installed (some old TWRP, can't update it because newest version get's stuck at entering recovery, I read that it is related to me having an old HBOOT version)
Current ROM is android revolution 7.0
CID is TMOB-101
Bootloader unlocked
I heard the easiest way to do it is to use the official HTC site to download a RUU, and use that, but in order to use that, you must relock your bootloader, but that can potentially brick the device if it was tampered with?
Can anyone clarify what should I do, and what should I look out for, to make sure I don't brick (like relocking the bootloader)?
You will need to restore a nandroid backup then do OTA to the latest.
Post fastboot getvar all result without serial & imei no.
Someone will be able to guide you.
Or I check tomorrow as I already in bed now.
Note : unlocking/relocking bootloader will not brick a device.

That if still available, not for your hboot version.
What you need to do is to restore 1.57.111.2 and its stock recovery then do multiple OTA up to the latest 4.19.111.3 or maybe 4.19.111.4

Where do you read you need to relock bootloader ? I asked you to read my thread post #1, there is a note on bootloader matter. No need to relock bootloader.
How do I see the relationship ? That come from observation and experience ... the outcome that I learnt from my own thread ....
See all those software version no. in post #2 in my thread
hboot 3.16.0000 - software version no. is 1.xx.xxx.x
hboot 3.18.0000 - software version no. is 2.xx.xxx.x
so yours is hboot 3.16.0000 and CID T-MOB101 so the software version no. is 1.xx.111.x
and the precise version no. is 1.57.111.2
That's all that I can help ... as this way off-topic from your original problem.
Okay, I managed to install all the OTA updates, but I'm only on android version 5.0.1, and now it says there are no more updates for my system.
I thought the OTA updates were supposed to update me to 6.x?

So far only 4 device variants received the update :

If you want to taste Marshmallow ROM, you install TWRP 2.8.7.0 and install any customized Marshmallow ROM that you like. Just make a nandroid backup of your current stock non-rooted ROM before you install other ROM. You need this backup for next OTA.
I see.
Are there no caveats, like my wifi not functioning if I install a marshmallow rom now, without waiting for the OTA update first?
I would not suggest that if there are problems in doing so.
Hello I bought M8 from somebody, it is unbranded European model i think, phone is rooted and carrier unlocked as im using it in asia. it comes with android 5.0.1, I want to update to stock marshmallow for this variant. I have been trying to do on my own but it only confused me more. Im not sure if i have custom rom or if because im rooted, because At the time moment it doesnt offer any software updates from the main menu.
Some info abt phone.
Its model id at back is Op6B100,
Android version 5.0.1
Software number 4.18.708.12
Build number 4.18.708.12
In the bootloader menu I have
Software status: Official
Locked ( i think it means bootloader)
M8_UL PVt SHIp s-off
Cid-11111111 (but if I check with cidgetter it says t-mob010). So it confused me because according to its model its supposed to be european model but in fastboot it says 11111111.
HBoot 3.19.0.0000
I dont have twrp installed.
So please tell me where to go from here. I want to either from here go direct to stock android 6 for this M8 variant or go back to stock condition and get ota update. I prefer to lose the root. So please tell me which stock firmware I need, and do I need to change cid, remove root, before that? Also i would like not to brick my device in process.. Thanks.
Also my device is carrier unlocked at the moment so Im hoping this shouldn't affect that. Thanks
